Three Letizias!
Three Letizias! Jika, youngest of Letizia and Renato’s 8 grandchildren, with husband Brice Jaulneau-Labarre, flew in recently from Singapore with their kids Xavier and Lila Letizia on April 24. Jika and her cousin, Karmina, both named their daughters after the woman the exhibit is honoring. Xavier is 13, Lila Letizia is 6, while Karmina’s youngest, Lourdes Letizia, turns 5 on June 27, the day Letizia Roxas Constantino passed away in 2016. (Photos and video by KC Constantino-Torres)

“Letizia: A Life in Letters is an inspiring and moving exhibit at the Linangan Gallery of the Constantino Foundation. Leticia Roxas Constantino’s letters and journals were given life in a multi sensoral showcase of music, personal belongings, video, photos with letters as if floating in the air.
